When will the following recall dispute with gm be resolved? I would like a remedy to this recall due to safety concerns. Gm recall # 2049151 / NHTSA # 16v381 / date issued: may 27, 2016 recall status: incomplete.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v381000 (air bags); however, the part for the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact called heafner motors inc (935 ms-6, beltsville, ms 38606; 662-563-7631) and was informed that the parts were not available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and informed the contact that the repair had been completed by adjusting the air bag temperature of the air bag inflator. The contact stated that the statement from the manufacturer was questionable given the vehicle was never taken to the dealer to have the repair performed. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

8 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2016

Takata recall - bought 2008 truck new and I live in oklahoma. It is very hot here in the summers. Higher risk in hot climates and my vehicle has been exposed approximately 9 years. I have called the dealer three times over the last 15 months and they refer me to gm cust svc. Today cust svc tells me the same crap - they have not figured out what to do. It's simple - replace the inflators now - enough screwing around. Safety recall received dated July 2016. Still no parts at dealer. Gm is dragging their feet as long as they can. It is time to do something!.

9 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 05/27/2016

Takata inflators: why is it taking so long to fix a problem that may result in injury or death. Until this problem is fixed it is my belief that there should be no production of any new vehicles. If air bags are still being installed, as per government regulations and safety standards, the automobile industry engineers should be able to come up with a retrofit. The government should force the issue. My vehicle is still on recall.
